Following my second uncle to raid tombs, one shovelful of earth led me to the world of immortal cult

Chapter 524 Accepting the Invitation

"Let's leave it at that for now. Lord Zhou can consider it for a few days."

"There's no need to answer me so quickly."

"Of course, I personally hope that you, Lord Zhou, can stay."

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the doors to the council chamber opened, and Lin Que and his entourage emerged, leaving Zhou Qingyao alone inside, still struggling with her thoughts. Perhaps she was shocked by something Lin Que had said, or perhaps it was for some other reason.

Anyway, judging from Zhou Qingyao's furrowed brows, it was clearly different from her decisive style when she was the city lord of Tianyao City.

"Brother Lin!" Just then, Zhou Qiao'er called out to Lin Que.

Upon hearing this, Lin Que was delighted!

I almost forgot about you, little Qilin.

He immediately squatted down, patted her little head, and asked, "Qiao'er, have you ever thought about anything?"

"Well... it's just some things that I've never encountered or experienced before."

"Something that has never appeared in my memory before."

After saying that, Lin Que looked at Zhou Qiao'er with anticipation, hoping that this little Qilin could really have the memory inheritance of Feng Jiuyou.

Liu Qingyi and Huan Qingcheng were the same; both women looked at her with great anticipation. If it really was true, then their purpose in coming to the Illusionary Demon Continent would be more than half successful.

"Something I've never remembered before?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiao'er frowned her cute brows, looking as if she was trying hard to recall.

However, the result disappointed Lin Que and the others!

After trying hard to recall, Zhou Qiao'er finally shook her head and said, "No, Qiao'er has lived in Baihuang City with her father since she can remember."

"Alright..." Lin Que sighed slowly.

However, just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly saw a flash of light on Zhou Qiao'er's chest and realized that she was wearing a jade buckle.

A thought!

I immediately thought of some settings from novels I had read on Earth before, and wondered if there was any connection.

Without hesitation, Lin Que immediately asked Zhou Qiao'er, "Qiao'er, where did this jade buckle come from?"

"It was given to Qiao'er by her father!" Zhou Qiao'er said happily without hesitation.

As soon as Zhou Qiao'er uttered her cheerful and innocent words, Lin Que and the other two turned their attention to Zhou Qi, only to receive a disappointing answer.

Zhou Qi looked at Zhou Qiao'er with affection and then said, "This jade buckle, made of warm jade from the spiritual vein, was bought by me when I was strolling around White Wasteland City."

"At the time, I felt that this jade pendant had the meaning of peace, so I bought it as a gift for Qiao'er."

"May Qiao'er live a peaceful and safe life..."

"I see." After receiving Zhou Qi's reply, a hint of regret flashed in Lin Que's eyes.

He also used a wisp of his spiritual sense to investigate and found that there was nothing special about it; it was just a jade buckle full of spiritual energy.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The Qilin clan has been missing for so long, how could they be found so easily?

But there was one thing that Lin Que was curious about.

Back in Tianyao City, he vaguely heard the shouts of the Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivator, who said that as long as Zhou Qiao'er was there, he wouldn't have to worry about not finding the Qilin Clan.

Could it be that they have some special method for finding it?

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Lin Que's mind!

In that case...

It seems we need to make some plans.

However, just as Lin Que was deep in thought and planning something, Zhou Qingyao walked out of the council room behind him and slowly came to Lin Que's side, interrupting his thoughts.

"Since the rules and agreements have already been set, I will accept your invitation."

"As for just now, I was just thinking about some things."

Upon hearing this, Lin Que immediately snapped out of his reverie and said with delight, "Then welcome City Lord Zhou to join us!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Qingyao waved her hand and said, "I have two small requests, and I hope you can grant them."

"First, I will not show my face in Wangxian City openly."

"You need to make other arrangements for what the city lord has done."

There are two reasons, namely...

“I know, and I didn’t intend for City Lord Zhou to appear in public. You just need to stay behind the scenes.” Lin Que smiled and continued, “After all, City Lord Zhou’s identity is still too conspicuous.”

"Plus what happened at the Heavenly Demon City... so I know what to do."

"Then what is the second reason?"

Lin Que looked on with curiosity; he really couldn't figure out the second one.

Then Zhou Qingyao said calmly, "The second reason... is that I'm tired of being the city lord and don't want to deal with those messy things anymore."

These words left Lin Que speechless!

Never mind...

That makes sense, since she had seized the position of City Lord of Tianyao City herself.

"As for the second request, it is..." Zhou Qingyao paused for a moment, then said in a cold tone, "When it's time to settle accounts with those Chongming Divine Cult cultivators, I hope you can spare someone for me to personally kill!"

The moment she finished speaking, Zhou Qingyao exuded a strong killing intent!

"How come you all have enemies..." Lin Que muttered to himself, then smiled and replied, "That's no problem at all!"

"I'm sure you and Master Shui will get along very well in the future."

With the matter settled, both parties were very satisfied!

Zhou Qingyao only needs to stay behind the scenes in Wangxian City; she doesn't need to show her face at all. This was also Lin Que's original idea—he could only feel at ease with someone at the Tribulation Transcending Realm in charge.

However, one thing left Lin Que speechless: Zhou Qingyao spent the next few days having Shui Ningzi and the others reorganize Wangxian City, feeling that the original rules of Wangxian City were inadequate and too chaotic.

It was so chaotic she couldn't stand it!

However, this is obviously something that cannot be changed much in a short period of time. After all, this place was originally a chaotic and unregulated area, and it will take some time to completely change it.

However, Zhou Qingyao was clearly very interested in this matter and seemed to enjoy organizing the rules of Wangxian City.

......

At this moment...

In a desolate place, a group of mysterious people dressed in black descended from the sky and stared in disbelief at the ravine stretching for thousands of miles before them!

Especially after sensing the lingering terrifying sword intent within, a sense of fear arose in the hearts of everyone in the mysterious man's group!

But soon, the leader came to his senses and exclaimed in horror after looking around!

"This...isn't this the original location of the Innate Demon City?!"

"Where is Heavenly Demon City?!"

"How could such a large city suddenly disappear?!"

"Can anyone tell me where the city went?!"

"And...and the three protectors I taught?!"

"Where are the Dharma Protectors?!"

"quick!"

"Quickly return and report to the Vice Leader!!!"
